Product description
For nearly twenty years, Universal Nutrition has been manufacturing high protein, low carb supplements in the form of protein shakes and amino acid formulations. Times have changed. Nutritional bars have redefined the supplement landscape in the past decade. You can't walk into a health food store and not see nutrition bars. They're here to stay.
_ Once the territory of large candy corporations, today's bars are highly specialized and functional. Walk into any health food store and you'll see dozens of bars which incorporate the latest herbs, antioxidants, and phytonutrients. With bars, it's now possible to get 100% of the RDA of vitamins and minerals. Want ginkgo for your brain? No problem. Extra protein? Simple. Bars have come a long way since the days of Snickers, Three Musketeers and Milky Way.
_ For the past eighteen months, Universal Nutrition has been working in close collaboration with leading doctors and nutritionists. After testing dozens of different prototypes for flavor, nutritional profile, quality and consistency, Universal has finally produced a bar it could proudly attach it's name to: The Low Carb Bar.
_ Doctor-approved and recommended, the Low Carb Bar is a great way for people interested in the low-carb craze to get started quickly and easily. It's also perfect for the millions of health-conscious Americans who are currently adhering to a low-carb diet as it is compatible with all "low carb" diet plans, including Atkins, Sugar Busters, Protein Power, Zone and others. Regardless of which low carb/high protein plan you're on, the LowCarb Bar can help tremendously.
_ For all but the most dedicated, dieting fails because it's difficult to remain on a plan, any plan, when the food is a chore to eat. Couple this with the fact that many of us actually crave sugar, especially when it's reduced it our diets, and we get an instant formula for failure. Though we have the best intentions, our bodies betray us. Few of us can avoid sweets, let alone carbs, for any period of time. For low carb dieters, sweets are the enemy--a delicious enemy we love to hate.
_ Therefore, a satisfying and delicious taste is practical but pressing concern. In an initial national taste test, Universal LowCarb Bar was ranked #1 in taste and overall palatability. I've had the fortunate chance of tasting the final prototype, and I can only say, "Delicious!"
